    @dustinc Thanks for the VPS!

    Installed AdminBolt from the One Click Apps section in the control panel — very smooth and easy, up and running in no time.

    First impressions: packed with features and convenient to use. Going to explore the various features and I'll report back after some real usage.

    Huge thanks to RackNerd and the AdminBolt team for this giveaway! I just got my VPS in Los Angeles activated.

    I' ve had the chance to explore the AdminBolt dashboard, and my first impression is fantastic! The interface is clean and intuitive, and it offers many useful features, including domain and DNS management, SSL certificates, one-click WordPress installation, and database management. Everything is well organized and easy to navigate.

    Definitely looking forward to putting this to good use. Thanks again to RackNerd and AdminBolt for making this possible!

    Hi @Annoy -- Good stuff! Sounds like you've already covered quite a bit of ground in AdminBolt. Glad the first impressions have been great so far.

    Enjoy the new VPS, and thanks for sharing your experience :)

    R8 winner here — won the 4GB LA VPS, thanks @dustinc and RackNerd!

    Installed AdminBolt from the ctrl panel's One-Click Apps; a few minutes later the box came back as a fresh AlmaLinux 9, wizard done in two clicks, trial active until Nov 12.

    AdminBolt honestly feels like a brand-new take on hosting panels — nothing like the ones I've used before. Domain setup, database setup, all the common stuff is built right in. I didn't have to go hunting on other sites for tutorials or piece things together manually — it's genuinely out of the box.

    My favorite part as a beginner: the AI assistant built into the panel. I can just ask it hosting questions instead of digging through docs or opening tickets. For someone like me who isn't a server expert, that alone is worth a lot.

    Going to move a small site over next and try the one-click WordPress install. Thanks for the VPS and the license — will report back once there's real traffic on it.

    Hi @BaiYi -- That's great to hear! :) Getting from a fresh VPS to setting up your own site can be a lot to take in as a beginner, so glad AdminBolt has made it approachable for you.

    Thank You for sharing your experience!

    Thanks to @dustin and RackNerd for the giveaway

    Just finished testing out AdminBolt after deploying it through ctrl. While the initial one-click setup took a little while to pull down all the packages, the panel itself is well worth the wait.

    The UI is snappy, modern, and uncluttered. Really liking the built-in web server switcher (especially OpenLiteSpeed support), the straightforward domain/database management, and how lightweight it runs at idle compared to traditional panels. Very promising control panel!

    Hi @bolt28724 -- Thank You for taking it for a spin! :) OpenLiteSpeed support is one of the things we're very excited about too, and the way they implemented it to not require web server restarts on .htaccess changes is a gamer changer.

    Enjoy the VPS, and keep us posted as you put AdminBolt to use!

    A sincere thank you to @dustinc, @adminbolt, @Chris_AdminBolt, RackNerd, and the AdminBolt team for this opportunity!
    Installing AdminBolt through RackNerd ctrl was quick and straightforward. My first impression was very positive: the interface is clean, modern, and well organized, and the initial setup wizard is clear and helpful.
    For a relatively new panel, AdminBolt already has a solid foundation. Domain and DNS management are well presented, the Cloudflare integration is very convenient, and the built-in support for PHP, databases, email, SSL, backups, and multiple web server options is impressive. I also installed WordPress through the panel, and the entire process was fast and smooth.
    There is still room for improvement. I would love to see first-class Nginx support, integrated Docker and Docker Compose management, and a broader application ecosystem in future releases. I also appreciate that AdminBolt supports Node.js, Python, and Ruby applications through its application runtime system on supported server configurations. It would be great to see this expanded with more developer-focused tooling, such as guided dependency management, more advanced process monitoring and controls, automated Git deployments, and deployment guidance for common application frameworks.
    Overall, AdminBolt is a promising platform with a great start. Thanks again to RackNerd, Dustin, and the AdminBolt team. I’m looking forward to seeing how the panel continues to develop!

    Hi @VGL -- Thank You for spending time with it and putting together such a thoughtful write-up! :) Glad the experience was good from the ctrl install through to getting WordPress running.

    I'm looking forward to seeing where AdminBolt is a few months from now -- between the development pace and the ideas coming through this thread, there's a lot to be excited about!

    Thanks @dustinc, @Chris_AdminBolt and the RackNerd & AdminBolt teams for the giveaway! Here's my honest feedback after trying AdminBolt on my giveaway VPS.

    What I liked:
    - The one-click install from RackNerd ctrl was painless and just worked.
    - The interface feels modern and clean.
    - The documentation is thorough and answered every question I had.
    - Small touches show real hosting experience: the admin can jump into any hosting account with Login instead of juggling passwords, and you can generate a one-time admin login link over SSH if you ever get locked out.
    - A built-in MCP server is a genuinely forward-looking idea.

    The first-run wizard created a hosting account for me automatically, and I ended up with quite a few credentials: ctrl, root SSH, the installer's temporary password, the admin account and the hosting account. It took me a moment to figure out which one was for what. Once I understood that /admin runs the whole server (like WHM) and /client manages a single hosting account (like cPanel), it all clicked, and the separation makes a lot of sense. Anyone coming from cPanel/WHM will feel right at home. I deleted the auto-created account and now only keep the admin login.

    AdminBolt is clearly built for hosting providers, resellers and site owners, and for that audience it looks very well thought out. I'm a solo developer: I mostly live in SSH and run my blog behind Caddy, so I'm not really the core target user. But if I ever need to host sites for friends or clients, it's one I'd seriously consider.

    A few small suggestions:
    Debian/Ubuntu support. Most of my servers run Ubuntu. I know it's already on the roadmap, so just adding my vote.

    Overall, it's an impressive panel for such a young project, and the pace of development is great to see. Thanks again, and good luck with AdminBolt!

    Hi @wrenn -- Appreciate the thoughtful feedback, especially from someone who usually lives in SSH! Glad it all clicked once you got familiar with the admin/client split, and that AdminBolt earned a spot on your list for future projects 👊

    Sharing my feedback after getting AdminBolt running on my giveaway VPS — thanks @dustinc, RackNerd and the AdminBolt team!

    First impression: the interface feels modern and clean. Everything's organized by task instead of the cluttered mess you get with traditional panels. The built-in AI assistant is the standout for me — you can get a website created or SSL issued just by chatting with it, which is genuinely friendly for newcomers. The API-first design should also make automation and integrations much easier for developers.

    What I like:

    • Pricing: flat per-server fee, not per-account. If you host a lot of sites, that's way more predictable than cPanel-style billing — I've seen cases claiming around 10x savings.
    • Easy to pick up: intuitive UI, and the AI assistant smooths out the complicated bits.
    • Solid automation potential: API-first, good for batch management and dev workflows.
    • Modern philosophy: modular, clean, knows what it wants to be.

    Still early days on my end, but so far so good. Thanks again for the giveaway!

    Hi @yetianchen -- Thank You for sharing your impressions! :) The flat per-server pricing is refreshing, adding another hosting account on the same server shouldn't mean another licensing charge.

    The automation side also opens up some interesting possibilities. Between people who want help getting their first site online and developers who want to automate their workflow, it's fun seeing the different ways everyone here is exploring AdminBolt. Enjoy putting it to use!

    @dustinc

    cPanel features could be circumvented in a good way to force more sensible exim rules by “re” importing

    I won’t miss the kludge

    Having the host and panel dev in one place that is demonstrably open to improvements is such a win.

    I agree that having to work around the panel to get the configuration you want does get old.

    And agreed, that's been one of the best parts of this thread -- people trying things, sharing their experience, and being able to talk directly with us and the AdminBolt developers. Appreciate you being part of that conversation :)

    Woot woot! That definitely deserves a little celebration, doesn’t it? :)

    I built a (keygen) for AdminBolt and can generated licenses with a 50 year expiration, is there any reward? ;)

    Well, I can't confirm that - but nice try with developer tools in browser ;)
